Well, we had the push down to the 95.50 level, but WTF happened around 3am EST to make the market pop four points?? Something going on across the pond maybe??
We've got four reports this morning at 8:30am EST, with Unemployment Claims sure to be an action-maker, then the ISM PMI number at 10am, to put the icing on the cake. Based on the Job Cuts report released this morning, I am expecting the Unemployment number to be higher than the 389k forecast.
Based on the little overnite rally we've had, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a "pump 'n dump" by the Big Boyz ahead of the reports. They have run it up to what appears to be pretty good R level, setting up perfectly for a big move down on any bad news.
Yup, classic action. Most pain overnight must have been on the short side. 6E at weekly lows yet ES holding up. If the 2 are still correlated which I believe they still are, we are in for some pain tomorrow. However, I will be very cautious adding any shorts today given the report tomorrow and not wanting to hold big position into it.
